THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1909. SNOW MELTING AS FUST AS IT FALLS Coast Counties Have Higher Temperatures and Contra dictory Conditions. WEATHER SHARPS PUZZLED Likely as Not There Will Be Lifting Weather in Portland Today, With Easterly Winds Only Zephyrs Blowing. With a light eouth -wind in Portland ; past -winds, snow and cold -weather over Eastern Oreron. Eastern Washington and Idaho: east -winds and clear skies on Puftet Sound, and northwest winds in San Franrlsco, tho weather map last nlgrht puzzled the forecasters of th Weather Bureau. In the Santiam Val ley there was ten Inches of snow, and more was falling-. There was heavy, wet snow in the Siskiyou Mountains. In Uma tilla County 3 degrees below zero was re ported.' but at Brownsville. Chemawa. Ashland and other points the weather was relatively warm and the snow was melting. Contradictory' conditions prevailed gen erally. Storms, where there were storms, appeared to be local. All these reports made the Weather Man scratch his head. After a season of thought, he decided that, as likely as not, Portland will have clouds and east winds today, with probably clearer weather. Storm Hampers Wires. The storm has put nearly all the tele graph and long-distance telephone wires out of order, and last night the only wire in operation between Portland and San Francisco was a press wire. Some of the long-distance telephone wires near Portland suffered, resulting In suspending communication between this city and Tillamook and some smaller places. At the offices of the Postal Telegraph Company yesterday afternoon it was stated that the company's lines from California and lines directly from tho East were out of commission, and that messages sent to San Francisco had to go by ,wy of Vancouver,' B. C. and Chicago. The local lines, it was stated, .were all right. Whfn the Western Union office was asked yesterday afternoon if the wires of that company were In good shape, the reply was that they were working well, although the day before much delay had been occasioned by the weather. At the Weather Bureau It was stated later that the Western Union did not hava all its lines working, as stated, and that all the commercial lines of the company to San Francisco were out of order. The trou ble was said to be serious on both sides of Ashland. Winds Are Light. Wires of the Pacific Telephone & Tele graph Company between Portland and San Francisco were interrupted, accord ing to information obtained from the company early yesterday afternoon, and It seemed Indefinite when they would be In working order again. Weather sharps were at a loss to ac count for the lfi-mile wind that pre vailed at Tatoosh Island. Washington, while other Coast points reported from four to eight miles. There was almo6t no wind In Portland, or along the Oregon coast. If the wind here should continue to come from the south. It would presage rain, but the weather office thought last 'v night that it would, change to the east. The snowfall in Portland reached a depth of S4 inches yesterday, but at points up the Willamette Valley it was much deeper. The heaviest fall of snow was recorded at Salem, where It reached a total depth yesterday of 12 Inches. Although the snow" was thawing a part of the time underfoot, the maximum tem perature of the day. as officially record ed, was 31 degrees and the minimum was M degrees. The river dropped one foot four Inches during the 24 hours ended last night. Streetcar Men Busy. "Our company has not experienced any more trouble in maintaining a satisfac tory service during this snow storm than any other railway company in any of the other large cities either In the East or the West under the same circumstances," said C. J. Franklin, superintendent of the railway department of the Portland Railway. I,ight & Power Company, yes terday. "Ever since the storm broke at . noon Saturday we have been receiving compliments on all sides for the character of the service we maintained. That our pervice must have not only measured up to. but exceeded expectations Is further attested by the fact that we have not received a single complaint. "At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon we sent out our tripper service for the double purpose of keeping the track in good condition and to make up for any delay In the service which might result from the snow. At no time Saturday or today was the service on any part of the sys tem seriously criprled. "The Vancouver service was not aban doned. Only two trips were lost on that division during the entire storm. This was due more to the fact that the ferry could not land on the Oregon side on ac count' of the high winds. This, resulted In the delay of several cars for two or three minutes with the result that in the aggregate about two trips were lost. Shop Car Delayed. "The Sellwood line was delayed more than an hour by reason of the dropping down of a motor case on one of the cars and our not being able to get it replaced as quickly - as w otherwise might, owing to the delay in getting the shop car to the scene of the accident, on account of the enow. After this accident had been repaired all cars on the Sell wood and the Oregon Water Power divi . slons were operated on good schedule, some being delayed but not seriously Under the circumstances. "The lOregon City and Cazadero trains were operated strictly on schedule. There was some trouble on the Montavllla line In the outskirts of the city caused bjt the drifting snow which drifted in as fast as we could clean It away. This was the feature of the storm which made it diffi cult to operate the cars on schedule. "We kept our service in operation over all of the principal lines all night Sat urday night and that we succeeded in keeping the tracks open was evidenced this morning when all cars were started strictly according to schedule. We are willing to submit to the general publio that our service was even better than might reasonably have been expected under the unfavorable circumstances."

ONE IS KILLED BY SLED Oontinued From First Pag-e.) on my stomach and steering with my hands, the girl behind me holding lay feet up. I stayed with the sled and when the front bob passed the pole I was shot oft into the street. The girl who was holding my feet received a bad cut on the nose. I hope she will come forward and tell what she knows about this for I know it was not my fault. I don't know what her name is or where she lives." Stewart came to Portland only a .few months ago from a small town in Minne sota, but refused to tell the name of the place because his mother lives there and he feared she would be unduly worried if she heard of the affair through sources other than the family. , Miss Magdalena Weber confirmed the statement of Stewart in most respects when able to speak at the hospital last night. She was riding Just In front of Miss Serra and was thrown past the tele phone pole on the street side. The wreck of the bob sled lies on the side of Hall street, a mute evidence to the disaster. The front runner is broken on the left side, showing that ,it shot past the pole as described by Stewart, while the runners of the rear sled were entirely broken off. At the home of Miss Serra It was announced after the accident that the young lady had gene to the hill against the wishes of her mother, Mrs.,M. M. Balsam. The young woman had been fond of the Winter sport on the hill sides, but had once before been injured The family came from Astoria two and one-half years ago. The girl s step father lives in San Francisco, where he conducts a restaurant. Late police reports last night show that a number of minor accidents occurred in various parts of the city among small boys and girls who were coasting. At Front and Lowell streets a broken nose and a lacerated head decorate two boys while on Second street one youngster had a miraculous escape from death when his sled dashed under a moving streetcar.

It is "Polar," the large white bear at the City Park. , Polar is not allowed outside of his ln closure, to wallow fn the snow on the hillside, much as he desires it, but yes terday afternoon he accepted the next best substitute when Courter, one of the assitant keepers-of the park, shov eled a pile of snow on to the floor of the cage. The big fellow then ceased his gyra tions behfnd the bars of his prison, and, forgetting all his troubles, he had one of the best times of his life for about 20 minutes. , He rolled several different ways at once, waved his paws in tha air, and buried .his head in the snow, eating the frozen stuff with delight. When he had the show packed solid he tore it up and continued his joyful ma neuvers, much to the delight of a crowd of Juvenile spectators. Owl Also .Tickled. Another park resident who seemed particularly pleased with the snow was the white owL He looked his delight, spreading his wings and hooting as the flakes dropped and wefe blown in upon him. The three buffaloes lay in the snow outside their shed, and apparently pre ferred it to the warmer inside quarters. The elks and deer did not caro much whether it rained or snowed. They stood around in their open sheds or out side in the snow, not a whit unlike their asual selves. "Maggie," tha loquacious magpie, was thi most communicative creature in the park. She greeted the keeper with Hello, Charlie." and "Hello, Hun " told the curious spectators he saw them, and saia oucn wnen a com Diasc wouia reach, him. The monkeys are kept inside their back rooms, where the temperature is kept warm for them. The monkeys do not care much for the snow. They as much as said so when the cold came In through the door. "Joeco," the ring tailed monkey, and "Dr. Cook" were particularly in evidence. Pheasants Are Content. The Mongolian, ringneck, golden and copper pheasants are not minding the snow much, as they have ample shelter and an abundance of food. The lion does not seem to like the snow much, and is rather surly, al though -his cage is kept warm. He felt so out of sorts yesterday he refused to take his usual drink of water. The Alaskan dogs, foxes and coyotes are In their element. The Japanese bears and the wildcat are indifferent. The badger was timid. "Print e," the parFot from Peru, counted to ten and let it go at that. Many wild pheasants fly into the park almost every day and eat with the ducks and other fowls near the pond. A heavy fine is imposed on any one found shooting- the .birds, in the city limits back of the park. Consequently pheasants by the hundreds are living a safe existence there, and visit tha park for their meals. Charley Hermon. keeper of the zoo, is anxious to add a pair of cougars to the city collection. The Dalles Has 22 Above. THE DALLES. Or., Dec 6. (Special.) S. L.

SMALL BOY HAS JOY Coasters Out in Force Wher ever Sfed Will Slide. MANY SPILLS MAKE FUN Various Long - Distance Coasting Feats Successfully Negotiated to Great Envy of Possessors of Slower Means of Travel, x Before the police put a stop to coast ing and bob-sledding last night, some remarkable things were accomplished on tiie Johnson-street hill. One heavy bob-sled succeeded, with the Impetus gained from a load of 11 passengers, in flying from Melinda avenue and Twenty-fifth Btreet down the grade to Fifteenth street before it stopped. An other "bob" shot down the Twenty-fifth-street "hill from Johnson street beyond Overton street; both these ac complishments being made safely past the peril of two streetcar crossings. Aside, from this, three small boys, on a "flyer," gained tha envy of all the other coasters by starting at the top of the Melinda-avenue hill and turning at full speed Into Twenty-rirth street, without spilling as they slued around the 30-degree angle. ' . These were only a few of the things that the merry throng- had to its credit when the sport was stopped. There was plenty of excitement in races down the hills, good-fellowship was the most noticeable thing in the crowd's be havior, and rosy cheeks and tingling fingers were' the' rule of the evening. Also, on the Johnson-street hill, there were two narrow escapes from serious accident, one when a heavy "bob" dodged between a Twenty-third-street car and a hurrying automobile: and the other when a small boy, Walter Ramsey, Just grazed a trolley car, com ing so close to serious Injury that he skinned one of his hands on the fen der of the car. The escape of the big "bob" seemed little short of miraculous. The car was bound north at a good rate e-f speed, and the motorman failed to slow down before reaching the crossing of Twenty-third and Johnson streets, as most of the others had done during the evening. A boy acting as a volunteer flagman at the crossing waved to the steersman of the bob to swerve into the bank: but the rapid approach of an auto on the north side of Johnson street made this impossible. The steersman took the long chance, and maintaining his course straight ahead, dashed between the automobile and the car, getting through with but an inch or two to spare. One of the- grimly humorous sides of the sledding, on the Twenty-fifth-street hill north of Johnson street, was tue fact that the entire reach of this slope was visible from the windows of St. Vincent's Hospital, and in these win dows were congregated several white jacketed internes, watching the sport. Possibly, also, they were looking for accidents. One nearly, happened when twt sleds, tied together, crashed into a barrel of cement half buried in the snow at one side of the street, and sent the riders sprawling over the slip pery surface of the hill. None' was in jured, however,' and , after rising anxiously, the surgeons sat down again. Bob-sledding was also in full sway last evening and afternoon, on the Russell -street hill in Albina, on East Burnside and Belmont streets, on near ly all the streets on the river hill, iu South Partland, on the steep inclines of Portland Heights: and on many othen-. Everywhere there was the same good nature, everywhere there was a rivalry between the owners of the bigger sleds. And everywhere there'were spills of more or less seriousness, which were usual ly greeted with laughs by the people spilled, and by snowballs volleys from the spectators. i As In former years, the costumes of the boys were varied and picturesque, running from just ordinary clothes and a sweater to elaborate tobogganing costumes. This year's styles in wo men's clothing, h wever, added a pic turesque touch to the appearance of the girls. The long military cape coats, so generally worn, seemed to be the favorite garb of the young women, and proved to be just the thing to tuck in and sit upon, so that if a spill did oc cur, they were protected. REALTY FIRM FAILS RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR W. M. CON'KXIN & CO. Civil Suit to Wind Up Affair of Concern Fllid by Minority Stock holder Conklin Gone. A. D. Widney has been appointed by Presiding Judge Bronaugb, of the Cir cuit Court receiver of the real estate firm of W.M. Conklin & Company, of which W. M. Conklin is president.

Domestic Who Tells of Shakeup Discharged. Now that little Ernest Harps, the "nine days' wonder," has hfen returned' to his mother at the Valley Hotel and a shakeup of crockery is reported to have attended his homecoming. Dr. J. Allen Gilbert, who watched the boy for a month, says he believes the Harps manifestations are caused by an unnamed force. Dr. Gil bert has not been present at any of the daylight seances. v- Mrs. Gilbert, wife of Dr. Gilbert, has seen enough to convince her that a mysterious power, which little Ernest cannot control, hovers over him at times and causes a 'movement of surrounding objects. Dr- Gilbert told yesterday of having found chairs overturned, but de nied having seen them moving. Dr. Gilbert was incredulous regarding . story of the rising and falling of a pie on a table Saturday at . the Valley Hotel, where Ernest Is living with his mother. Mrs. Anna Harps. But at the home, of Mrs. Josephine Gillingham. a domestic living at 647 Fourth street and formerly employed at the, hotel, an entirely different story is told. Because she told what she knew about pastry n flying in the air, moved by unseen hands, and about chairs and tables overturning at the Valley Hotel within the last few days, since Ernest Harps has been returned to his mother, she was discharged. She was employed temporarily by Mrs. Harps, who is house keeDerat the hostelry, to do the work whlie'the boy's mother Is convalescing from an illness said to have been caused primarily by the mysterious shakeup of October 28 at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sanders, at 516 Mar shall street. Pictures- Take Spasms. Mrs. Gillingham said chairs and pictures on the walls of the Valley Hotel quivered violently when the boy was present, the pictures swinging straight out in some, cases. ' She was working with Helen Sanders, the boy's aimt. at the time and told the boy to leave the room. When he returned the furniture was again set tn motion. She spoke of chairs as "scoot ing" along the floor before falling upon their sides or backs. Ioose paper and books were swept toward the boy, she declared.' as though blown by a stiff breeze. Later in the day, when Mrs. Gillingham sat down to dinner with Miss Sanders, J. L. Dernbaclv proprietor of the hotel: A. Dernbach, his brother, and the hoy wonder, a lemon p!e roso from the table, paused in midair and turning completely over fell on its top on the table. Then followed a general demolition of dishes. Pans and kettles fell to the floor with a bang. A pan filled with dough skidded from the stove to the floor, and the silverware jingled merrily, much to the consternation of those present. The domestic spoke of Ernest as having been sick all day. "Ha would cough and then sneeze. He seemed to be choking," she said. "He seemed dazed. Several times during the day we had to attend to him, as he fell to the floor groaning as if in agony." By her manner Mrs. Gillingham led her interviewer to believe she had not told all she knew about the Harps manifesta tions, although she denied having knowl edge of any other shakeups than the one last Saturday.
